Risk Screening of Veterans Throughout the Life Course
Abstract
Both the Canadian Armed Forces and Veterans Affairs Canada identified the need for a brief standardized tool to screen military members and veterans for the risk of a difficult adjustment to civilian life, frailty, suicide and homelessness. Data from Life After Service Studies (n = 8,101) were used to build logistic regression models of difficult adjustment to civilian life. The resulting brief risk screener was piloted in 2018 (n = 246). The modeling considered 28 risk indicators, used 17 of these to build the models, and maintained 8 questions for a brief risk screener. Optimal cutoff was found with a threshold of 3+ for difficult adjustment to civilian life, with 39% sensitivity (95% CI: 37.9 to 41.1) and 94% specificity (95% CI: 93.1 to 94.6). A longer 10 item questionnaire was implemented. Pilot participants who were help-seeking veteran clients had frequency by risk level of 42% low, 40% moderate, and 18% high. Pilot participants who were serving military members had frequency by risk level of 79% low, 13% moderate, and 8% high. In 2019, Canadian government implemented a new standardized risk screening tool to improve the effectiveness of services and referrals.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
